  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 teaspoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste

– ½ cup Caesar dressing

– 8 small tortillas (flour or corn)

Instructions

Creating Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos requires simple steps that anyone can follow:

1. Prepare Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it heat for a minute.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. Smash Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Use a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pan to smash the chicken, creating more surface area for flavor.
5. Slice Chicken: After smashing, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
6. Combine with Dressing: In a bowl, mix the chopped chicken with Caesar dressing and toss until well coated.
7. Prepare Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
8. Assemble Tacos: Fill each tortilla with the dressed chicken mixture, topping with chopped romaine lettuce and grated Parmesan cheese.
9. Add Optional Toppings: For added flavor and texture, feel free to add diced tomatoes, croutons, sliced green onions, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Smash Chicken Caesar Tacos while they are fresh and warm.
